CardIAc: an open-source application for myocardial strain analysis
(Springer, 2020-11)
Purpose: This paper presents CardIAc, an open-source application designed as an alternative to commercial software for left ventricle myocardial strain quantification in short-axis cardiac magnetic resonance images. The ...
Three-dimensional echocardiography for predicting postoperative ventricular volumes after surgical ventricular reconstruction of left ventricular aneurysm: A case-based presentation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-07)
Three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (3DTTE) may have a role in predicting final left ventricular volumes and clinical response after the surgical ventricular reconstruction (SVR) of left ventricular aneurysms ...
Sternal torsion in pectus excavatum is related to cardiac compression and chest malformation indexes
(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2020-04)
Background/purpose: The role of sternal torsion (ST) in patients with pectus excavatum (PEX) is unknown. We evaluated the relationship between ST and both chest malformation and cardiac compression (CC) indexes. Methods: ...
Exaggerated interventricular dependence among patients with pectus excavatum: Combined assessment with cardiac MRI and Chest CT
(American Roentgen Ray Society, 2017-04)
OBJECTIVE. We sought to explore whether patients with pectus excavatum have exaggerated interventricular dependence and to evaluate the impact of the malformation severity (assessed on CT) on both anatomic and functional ...
Changes in cardiac Aquaporin expression during aortic valve replacement surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass
(Elsevier Science, 2019-09)
OBJECTIVES: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) use is an essential strategy for many cardiovascular surgeries. However, its use and duration have been associated with a higher rate of postoperative complications, such as low ...
Relationship between cardiac MR compression classification and CT chest wall indexes in patients with pectus excavatum
(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2018-11)
Background/purpose: In pectus excavatum (PE) patients owing to the location of the heart in the chest cavity, the most affected site of compression by the depressed chest wall is the right heart, and surgical repair has ...
Hemodynamically significant prosthesis-patient mismatch can be predicted and is associated with early prosthetic valve dysfunction in aortic bioprosthesis
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-06)
Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of predicted prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) regarding actual PPM measured postoperatively. To assess the association between PPM and prosthetic valve dysfunction. Methods: Retrospective ...
Increased resistance to hydrogen peroxide-induced cardiac contracture is associated with decreased myocardial oxidative stress in hypothyroid rats
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2010-01)
The purpose of this study was to determine whether decreased oxidative stress would increase the resistance to cardiac contracture induced by H 2O2 in hypothyroid rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: control ...
Cardiac-specific overexpression of thioredoxin 1 attenuates mitochondrial and myocardial dysfunction in septic mice
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-12)
Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction is associated with increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Current evidence suggests a protective role of thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular ...
Calcium/Calmodulin Protein Kinase II-Dependent Ryanodine Receptor Phosphorylation Mediates Cardiac Contractile Dysfunction Associated with Sepsis
(Lippincott Williams, 2017-04)
Objectives: Sepsis is associated with cardiac contractile dysfunction attributed to alterations in Ca2+ handling. We examined the subcellular mechanisms involved in sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ loss that mediate altered ...
